All eyes are on Joker for his next move, having created havoc on dancefloors all over the world last year with huge remixes for numerous major labels/acts and anthems such as 'Digidesign', 'Do It' and 'Purple City''. He has defined the colourful synth-led melodic style within dubstep that's become known as 'Purple w0w'. 'Tron' is his biggest tune yet and is available here with an exclusive VIP version just for the digital package. It's a rare piece of music that can unite a diverse range of DJs such as Diplo, Kode 9, Shy FX, Flying Lotus, TC, Caspa, Pinch...

Here's another hot mix from none other than Joker. This kid really is a prodigy, and has turned the dubstep and IDM worlds on their head since he hit the scene. This is one of his newer mixes, from Mary Anne Hobbs radio show. Have a listen, you won't be disappointed.

Keep an ear out for the Sonic The Hedgehog samples.... it took me a few listens to place them.

Here's a super hot, albeit short, mix from Guido. Guido- another purveyor of the aforementioned "Purple" style, has a sound similar to Joker's, yet completely unique in it's own regard. You'll enjoy this one:

Joker was partially responsible for my obsession with Dubstep music. Joker's style is very atypical of dubstep, so much so that he doesn't consider himself a dubstep producer, but rather a pioneer of his own genre- "Purple". Have a listen to this mix, I think you'll hear the Purple coming right out of your subwoofer.

For those of you new to Dubstep, you're about to enter a dark, grimey world of wobbling bass lines, syncopated rhythms, and screeching synths, rooted in both Reggae and Drum and Bass music.

From Wikipedia:

"Dubstep is a genre of electronicdance music. Its overall sound has been described as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals""
